2005 Kia Sportage ex review from North America
"The best car ever with one thing wrong"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, I think that this car is extremely amazing and KIA has really shaped up from their old models.
General comments?
I love this car so much. I have driven it to work for the past 5 weeks and have received so many comments form co-workers about the styling of it. I got it with the luxury/leather package and the leather seats are very comfortable. when going up steep hills I use the manual transmission and it works fine. the only problem with the car is it gets less gas mileage then it says it will. I get about 15 city and 19 highway. I recommend this car to anyone who is shopping for a compact SUV.
